The Little Stinker

Since we got back from Christmas, Eliana has grown a bit. Is it bad if a child is already half her mother’s height by the time she’s 4 months?

She is such a great child. She has slept 8-10 hours a night since Christmas. It is great! She wears her mother out! Mommy would like about 14 hours of sleep. Eliana has been trying to roll over for quite a bit. We’ve been trying to help her. Hopefully she will catch on quickly. She has experimented a lot with her sounds and it’s wonderful! We love every sound she makes and that she ends up with spit all over her face (and mommy’s sometimes). For some reason she only likes to move her right foot. She will move her left foot but only when she wants. We try to hold her right foot and she’ll then move her left. It’s as if she will be running on one foot. (I guess that would then be hopping) She doesn’t scratch her face now. She will only touch her face with the palm of her hand. It’s very cute. We get plenty of “Eliana and Mommy” Time and it’s great! I have her laughing but she doesn’t laugh for the camera. Quite sad. She has taken a sudden interest in our armpits. No idea why. She will take her index finger and try to pull our shirts so she can see our armpits. Bath time is begging to be fun for her. She has a very flirtatious smile. We love it. She makes our hearts melt. We love when she wakes up because she just wakes up with a bright smile every time. It’s adorable. Tummy Time is lasting longer than before and she’s doing great! She does good when it comes to taking the pacifier to her mouth she just needs to figure out what part goes in her mouth. Her hair is crazy uneven! But her first haircut will probably take place on her birthday.  (Trim) She prefers to sit over laying. She sometimes prefers to fall asleep on her own. And her favorite toy is still the doggy. When she sees that toy she goes crazy kicking and flapping with her eyes wide open. Then she tries to fit him all in her mouth and gets angry because he doesn’t fit. She likes pointing her feet. Hopefully a sign she will be a ballerina or gymnast.
